Sour Chickpea Soup is a chicken soup flavored with cumin and caraway seeds that is delicious any time of year. I updated these pictures in Summer 2020. The soup in the more recent photos were served over Basmati rice (it was all I had) and we used more rice, leading to a bulkier looking soup. …
Steak & Potatoes, 2010
I have regarded the majority of my family as a lost cause when it comes to Indian food for some time now. Sushi and Thai my sister and I eventually got them eating, but something about Indian food was a problem. Recently however my mom had been making comments about dishes on my blog like…
Skirt Steak Pita Wraps With Yogurt & Browned Butter Tomato Sauce
It occurs to me that I have been very lax. Happy New Year, everyone! This was a fabulous throw it together weeknight meal. It is inspired by a dish in Spice: Flavors of the Mediterranean, by Ana Sortum, and that dish was in turn inspired by a traditional Turkish kabob called Iskander. Originally I had…
Dahi Murghi (Fragrant Yogurt Braised Chicken)
Much of Indian food relies on spices, aromatics and judicious use of a little ghee to make it exciting. But some Indian food is unapologetically rich, relying, at least partially, on high fat dairy (or in some cases nuts) for its impact. Clearly we should limit our intake of the latter–but by no means avoid…
Beef Braised with Yogurt, Indian Style
Wow I feel like we have just been eating TONS of Indian food lately–and since Mommy’s in charge, that must mean I have been craving it like mad! Chickpeas, potatoes & peas, Indian chutneys and sauce… yum! Good thing my whole family gets along on this issue! Anyway, I was craving yet another Indian dish,…
Safaid Keema, Maybe?: Ground Meat with Potatoes In Scented (Off) White Sauce
I never thought I would have a child who by the age of 4 (she’ll be 4 in June) calmly and correctly identified wood ticks. I don’t always feel calm when I see ticks! But except for one time in the middle of the night when she found one crawling on her (I think we…
Chickpeas With Lemon Cumin Dressing & Orange Scented Yogurt on a Bed of Greens
I first saw this salad over at The Recipe Girl a while back, although after bookmarking it, I realized I had the cookbook it came from, Ellie Krieger’s The Food You Crave. It looked wonderful, but I got distracted and forgot about it. The other night when I made my chicken divan, I was low…
Pomegranate Chickpea Curry
I have a meal to share but currently I am too lethargic to type much. This is a silly picture to share probably, but 4 burners with gorgeous stainless steel pots bubbling away (and room for all 4, despite 3 being pretty big) made me quite happy. First of all I am really, really full….
Hats Off To The Grannies: Peanutty Spinach Curry & A Kidney Bean In Cardamom Yogurt Curry
Hats off to the Indian grannies. And the Mexican grannies. And their daughters. And basically every home cook who lives anywhere that freshly made flat bread is traditionally served with most meals. Because I’ll be danged if this wouldn’t have been much better with some puffed and delicately crispy pooris (my personal favorite) or some…
